 If humans are to survive on Earth, we urgently need to reconnect with the
earth-friendly lifeways of our ancestors and become indigenous again to our
bioregions.  Especially for those of us long separated from our ancestral
homelands and planet-friendly spiritual guidance, Pegi's marvelous new book
"Ancient Spirit Rising" is the practical guide we have been waiting for.

~ NEW BOOK RELEASE ~

Among other important messages, the First Nation Elders, academics, activists and freedom fighters of Turtle Island are coming forth in our time to tell modern spiritual seekers that “we need to return to our own European ancestral traditions and earth-rooted indigenity.” This simple statement has massive ramifications, and exposes years of ingrained white privilege that has led to the cultural appropriation of Native Spirituality on a colossal scale. First Nations have endured genocide,  displace-ment, assimilation and oppression for centuries, and the least we can do as the descendants of the Settler Society is to listen deeply to this directive coming from Indian Country and all that it implies.  

We are being asked to examine what our own indigenous knowledge would look like to those of us of European descent who have been displaced from our traditional homelands for centuries, and who have been accustomed to accessing any spiritual belief system we choose.  "Ancient Spirit Rising"  will identify the paradoxical need for critical thinking in spiritual practice, the requirement for an ethical code, and why it is so important to stand tall in our own European ancestral wisdom.  Where and how will those of European descent find re-indigenized roots and a true eco-consciousness in our adopted landscape of Turtle Island?   "Ancient Spirit Rising"  will also examine if the recovery of our ancestral roots in holistic form might be the most revolutionary act in defiance to the nationalism, materialism and capitalism of hegemonic Empire we could ever imagine.
